[PATCH 3/3] Fix: tracepoint: rcu get state and cond sync for static call updates (v2)

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Thu Aug 05 2021 - 09:27:32 EST


State transitions from 1->0->1 and N->2->1 callbacks require RCU
synchronization. Rather than performing the RCU synchronization every
time the state change occurs, which is quite slow when many tracepoints
are registered in batch, instead keep a snapshot of the RCU state on the
most recent transitions which belong to a chain, and conditionally wait
for a grace period on the last transition of the chain if one g.p. has
not elapsed since the last snapshot.

This applies to both RCU and SRCU.

Fixes: d25e37d89dd2 ("tracepoint: Optimize using static_call()")
Fixes: 547305a64632 ("tracepoint: Fix out of sync data passing by static caller")
Fixes: 352384d5c84e ("tracepoints: Update static_call before tp_funcs when adding a tracepoint")

Changes since v1:
- Use tp_rcu_get_state/tp_rcu_cond_sync on 2->1 transition when
tp_funcs[0].data != old[0].data rather than
tracepoint_synchronize_unregister.
